Race 1 – CLM $15,000 FOR NW $60,000 (F&M $76,000 LT) - **GTD $75,000 Pick 5**

(7) GUCCIOS OFFICE continues to roll and he could bring a decent price here facing some recent claims. (5) LOVE WARRIOR should improve racing for a tag here; consider for Pick 5 tickets. (9) SUMSECRET loses her good post but she could move up off the Shepherd claim; using. (1) MAC N CAPS is worth a look for the exotics racing for Shepherd off the claim.

Race 2- CLM $15,000 for NW $35,000 LT

(5) BEACH BABY BEE gets a good post and he meets a field he can beat. Expect an aggressive try from Filion here. (2) BETTORS PARLAY couldn't close late because the final 1/4 was just too fast last week. He rates highly here. (3) ARCANE SEELSTER should be prominent throughout while making his third start racing out of Moreau's barn; using. (4) MALL PEEN HAMMER can pass a few of these and take a small share.

Race 3 – CLM HDCP $10,000 TO $12,000

(7) DABUNKA was game in defeat when claimed last week and he stands a decent chance to wire these. (8) CROCADILE CANYON - who races as a stablemate of the choice this week following a claim - should be the main threat. (4) DARCEE N finishes third more often than most horses in the country. I'll use him on the bottom of the Tri.

Race 4 – 5YO and Younger NW2 or $17,000 LT - Pick 4

(6) BEYOND BETTER was as good as advertised last week winning well as chalk in his debut and he gets the call to repeat here. (3) LETS GET PICKLED was better last week and if he behaves here, he could make some noise at a price. (4) HEART ON MY SLEEVE was picked off late but that was another good effort and he should at least be in the Tri here. (1) DADDY DEVITO was sharp with the trainer driving at Flamboro now he gets catch-driver Henry. Give him a look for the Super.

Race 5 - 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(5) BRUSHCUT had a tough task trying to close from far back into a strong headwind last time and this is a good spot for him; top call. (6) RESOUNDING got a start in with the trainer driving at Flamboro Downs and now he switches to the barn's main catch driver. He should be heard from. (8) CANTFINDABETTORMAN has raced decently in two straight and he can offer some value to the exotics. (1) JUSTA BANDIT's 27 1/5 kicker catches the eye. Keep him in mind when you make your Tri and Super bets.

Race 6 - NW2 or $33,000 LT - Pick 5

(4) DARTH FADER was beaten by a nice colt last week. He can bounce back vs. these. (7) BANKROLL got a great trip to win last week but he converted when called upon. He should be the main danger. (3) BOOS LITTLE JIM was better last week, and he could sneak onto the Exacta ticket late here. (6) BERNIE left then took a shuffle last week and he is another to consider using underneath.

Race 7 - NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10 - Pick 4

(5) SILVERLODE had an impossible trip in her local debut and an easier trip should see her in the winner's circle here. (6) HETTIES COMMANDER will be coming with her patented late brush again and she can win this with some racing luck. (2) CANTABERNET should set the pace again and stick around for a slice. (4) HONOR ABOVE ALL should get more involved here leaving from a much better post. I'll use him in the exotics.

Race 8 - CLM HDCP $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $86,000 LT

(5) QUAN BLUE CHIP set strong fractions on his way to setting a new lifetime mark and he should be tough right back here. (3) CASIMIR RUMRUNNER is likely to move up off the Fellows claim and he gets the leading driver, too; using. (7) STATE OF PLAY was sharp last week but he draws outside the choice here, which could make things tough for him; using underneath. (2) NO TIME AT ALL is a good one to use on the bottom as he’s right there every week.

Race 9 - CLM HDCP $15,000 to $18,000

(6) GOLDINTHEBADLANDS lacked room last week when claimed by Fellows; slight nod. (3) BUDDHA BLUE CHIP drops a level exiting a fast race and he should improve here. (4) COOL ROCK has hit his best stride and he will pass them all one night soon. (7) LEADER TONIGHT is always in the exotics mix; consider for the bottom of Tris and Supers.

Race 10 - NW $3,200 L5 or $7,000 L10

(9) DREAMFAIR B J went a bit too fast on the engine Monday night and he was picked off late by an airborne closer. He can win this if he can measure his speed a bit more effectively. (6) PROBERTSLEGACY is a hard-hitter from out west who can make an impact here in his first start out of the Moreau barn; using. (4) DREAMY FELLA races best at this level and he should be closing late for another share. (5) MACHIN A TRICK should be closer early here starting from a better post; using underneath. (7) SENIOR K hasn’t won in a while, but he is worth a look for the High-5 changing barns.
